What is the ruling on water in which an egg has been boiled if small red spots resembling blood are found on its outer shell?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"There is no certainty that these spots are blood, and even if they were blood, it would not affect the purity of the inside of the egg as long as its shell is solid. As for water, if it changes due to these spots, it is ruled impure. If it does not change, there is a difference of opinion regarding its impurity. The Maliki school of thought holds that it is not ruled impure, unlike the majority. If the questioner is prone to obsessive thoughts (), they may adopt the view of the Maliki school, as the original state is purity until impurity is certain."
